I'm currently talking to someone on the Lotus 7 Club forum about the possibility of getting a first-floor apartment balcony on the main straight to view the Monaco grand prix this year (21-23 May).
To make it (relatively!) reasonable in terms of costs we're looking for a minimum of 16 people to book.
Anyone interested????
We have about 6 definites so far and I'd really like to make this a goer if at all possible as I've never been to the Monaco GP before, so if you're interested, or know anyone who might be, let me know! :bannana:
Here's all the info I currently have - he seems happy to organise most of the trip so assuming it all gets off the ground fairly soon, I think the only thing you'd need to do yourself is get there!
For info re the accommodation mentioned, Mougins is a village in the hills
just above Cannes - it's where most of the people who work in Cannes
actually live. I'm sure he could sort out transfers to the train station
in Cannes (40 mins direct to Monaco).
Alternatively he might be able to sort out accommodation in Cannes - this
tends to be 1 bed apartments - 1 double bed/2 singles and a sofa bed in the
living area. The accommodation can range from typically French i.e. very
basic but ideal for dossing down in, to rather pleasant indeed (typically 2
bed, 2 bath, balcony etc).
I should also point out that the Film Festival also finishes the weekend of
the 21st/22nd May (having taken place over the preceding two weeks) so
Cannes will be manic as well (read expensive), but you might want to pop
down a little earlier to sample the atmosphere.
I am happy to organise the balcony & potentially the
accommodation/transfers, flights would have to be left to the individuals.

defenders!

This does not include accommodation, which we could arrange for everyone in
Mougins or somesuch very reasonably ... or indeed in Cannes. The apartment
is a 2 bedroomed 2 bathroomed apartment, and he says that at a push with a
slight price adjustment that could be used ... If there is interest your
side though we will do a full proposal,
